GL1800 LCD Display Adapter Timer

One thing I was disappointed with when I got my bike was the fact that Honda didn't give us any flexibility when it came to the OEM LCD display, and what it shows in the "default" mode. When I was unable to find a way to re-program this, I decided to do something on my own.

This assembly will basically "push the 'Display' button" at the interval set on the timer module. No more having to reach forward when the back-seat passenger asks "I feel colder, what's the temperature now?"

Here are pictures of the installation, and the process involved: Click any picture to see a larger version.

View of display button connector, with white signal wire "injected" into connector. The plug is held onto a bracket in front of the key assembly. I removed it for easier access, but since we know which connector is needed, you shouldn't need to do this.	Close-up view showing connector, in place with white signal wire in connector. The pin that controls the "Display" button is the one in the lower-right hand position in this view. The wire immediately above it is the 12V ground wire.
View showing mounting location for the timer module itself. There was enough room on the side of the plastic, just behind the speaker and next to the fuel gauge. I installed double-sticky tape on the back of the timer, and another piece (shown here in red) on the edge of the metal speaker flange.	Blurry picture showing the timer module stuck in place. The module is pushed all the way forward against the gauge assembly and will protrude slightly past the speaker flange. This does not interfere with the installation of the gauge panel, though.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions please contact me.
